Before Gtk 3.22 GtkScrolledWindow propagated natural size to its Children and so on to descendants. In Gtk 3.22 this was changed to always request the minimum size. This was done because it is believed to be a safer default (gives a better behaviour) in case of dynamic content inside the scrolled window, that is, content that may change allocated size. [1][2][3] When the scrolled window content is not dynamic the natural size is preferable because it gives a better looking layout and without any downside. In the case of GParted content which is not dynamic, so request the scrolled windows to allocate children at natural sizes for Gtk >= 3.22. The benefits of natural size allocation are evident in presence of wrapping labels (for example inside the "Partition Info" dialog), that with the minimum size request likely end up taking a very small width. References: [1] Gtk commit from 2016-08-31: GtkScrolledWindow: Make propagation of natural child sizes optional GNOME/gtk@0984d162 "Making propagation of child natural sizes mandatory (or default, even) was evidently a mistake as this causes dynamic content in a scrolled window to resize it's parent when the scrolled window is competing for space with an adjacent widget."
